Title
Bell, Peggy Ullman
Description
Born in the heart of the Great Depression, Peggy Ullman Bell grew up in books, dozens of books, as many as 12 a week the summer she was 15.
Reared in historic Gettysburg and York, Pennsylvania, Ms. Bell wondered what women were doing while men were fighting battles and making revolutions. The history books did not tell her and the search for women's history had only just begun. Scholars everywhere worked to re-verse the men's reversals. For her own versing, Ms. Bell prefers the term hystory from the Greek hyst (uterus) and the English story, fully aware that most of what we call history is limited to his story.
An accomplished poet in her own right, Ms. Bell became interested in Sappho, The Poetess of Lesbos in the flamboyant Hollywood of the 1960s when everyone around her seemed to know The Lesbian's name, but no one could answer any of Ms. Bell's questions about her. Long hours in the library, and an endless supply of books obtained through Interlibrary Loan showed Sappho to have been a woman of genius, so well respected that men quoted from her work three hundred years after her death, and yet what few of her words escaped the destruction of the Library of Alexandria were lost through the philosophical purges of an 11th century Pope.
